I really don’t want to play Go!

Chapter 439 All I saw was a blinding divine light...

"Broken?"

Upon seeing this move, the young man was stunned, a deep look of bewilderment appearing in his eyes.

Not only him, but everyone else was completely baffled by this incomprehensible move.

After a long period of contemplation, the young man finally came to his senses, picked up a chess piece again, and quickly placed it.

Yu Shao looked at the chessboard and, seeing the young man place a piece, quickly made his own move.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
"what happened"

As he watched, the young man's expression subtly changed, and more and more beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, while the eyes of everyone around him widened little by little.

Suddenly, the young man involuntarily clenched his fist, immediately picked up a chess piece, and swiftly pressed it down!
Hey!
Seven columns and sixteen rows, paste!
Immediately afterwards, Yu Shao also placed his chess piece!

"How can it be"

The young man muttered absentmindedly.

Everyone around was completely dumbfounded!

"I don't understand it at all."

"Logically speaking, after White weakens its position, Black's counterattack should be very severe!"

"But...but White's move to split the board is quite ingenious, it actually has the potential to slay the dragon."

"The black pieces' connection was originally a good move, but for some reason, it didn't achieve the desired effect; instead, it seemed very heavy and slow!"

The game continues.

But the more they watched, the more questions arose in their minds.

I can't understand it at all anymore.

Just as Yu Shao placed another piece, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "After White's flying move, Black's originally fierce offensive is now somewhat exhausted!"

"Impossible, how is this possible!"

Upon seeing this, some people couldn't help but lean forward and bend down to get a better look, seemingly unable to believe their eyes.

Black went to great lengths to lure White into the game. Once White was in the game, Black felt that White was already in a trap. Although White gained some points, White also suffered extremely heavy losses.

From now on, no matter what, White will be under attack and struggling, while Black should go all out and launch a desperate attack!
but--

"Infiltrate!"

"White is still invading, aiming to completely destroy Black's external influence and force Black to live in a difficult situation!"

The game became increasingly tense, and large beads of sweat streamed down the young man's face.

He picked up a chess piece and placed it down!
Hey!
Seventeen columns, ten rows, stab!
The chess piece falls.

The moment the black piece was placed, Yu Shao instantly suppressed the white piece!
Fourteen columns and eleven rows, attack!
"Attack! White has launched a full-scale attack!"

No one could remain calm while watching the game anymore. Everyone had moved two steps ahead, and although they were looking down at the board, they also felt like they were looking up at it, which made them feel terrified!

silence!

An astonishing silence!
"how so."

The girl behind the young man also stared wide-eyed in shock; everything that was happening before her eyes was completely beyond her comprehension!
"Why is this happening? White does have some weaknesses, but why does it become increasingly solid the more it attacks?"

“This is totally against common sense!”

On the chessboard, the young man picked up another piece and placed it down.

Hey!
Nine columns and fourteen rows, break!
Yu Shao, place another piece!
"Black has completely fallen into the second position; the initiative is entirely in Yu Shao's hands!"

Wu Shuheng swallowed hard, finding it so difficult to even swallow a mouthful of saliva, his eyes unable to leave the chessboard.

Even though he knew Yu Shao's chess skills, he was still shocked and incredulous at witnessing this incredible scene.
"Black's cut was excellent, arguably the strongest response in the local area, but it still fell into a losing position. Why is that?"

Wu Shuheng, his mind filled with questions, stared intently at the chessboard: "Why is this happening?"

The chess pieces continued to be placed, and time passed little by little.

White jumps first, and the situation becomes extremely urgent with close combat. Black uses a cutting move, which is a sharp tactic to break up White's position and create entanglement.

However, Bai Zi was surprisingly calm at this moment. He did not linger in the fight and quickly abandoned the advantages he had accumulated. He directly requested a change of tactics, exchanging injuries for injuries, which was chilling!

Yu Shao quietly looked at the chessboard, reached into the chess box, and picked up the cold white piece again between his fingers.

Snapped!
The piece is placed down!

Thirteen columns and fourteen rows, sharp!

The young man was pale, beads of sweat dripping down his face, and he was completely incredulous: "The situation is completely different from what I expected."

"We're completely trapped in a dead end!"

Da da da……

After a huge commotion, the chess hall became quiet again, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
After another ten or so moves, the map on the chessboard had changed color!
The white stones, which were originally weak, have quietly become strong, while the black stones, which are aggressive in the center, are extremely heavy. The outer influence that the black stones regard as their last chance to turn the game around is also showing signs of falling apart!

The people around stared blankly at the chessboard. It wasn't until they reached this point that they gradually realized the problem from their previous moves.

They were also deeply moved by the truth revealed on the chessboard.

"White's entry into the game was not because he was unaware of Black's intentions. The reason White entered the game was because he had found a way to break the deadlock after entering..."

Someone muttered, "That one decisive move was a backup plan!"

"This move, which was laid in ambush for more than twenty moves, successfully cut the black stones into two segments during the ko fight. White then continued to maneuver, dividing and conquering the two black groups on the outside!"

"Finally, this one move ignited a full-scale battle. One white stone drew in all the pieces on the board, causing them to converge in the heart of the black territory, and ultimately... successfully sparking a rebellion!"

"This is simply—"

His eyes were completely blank. He racked his brains, but for a moment, he couldn't find any words to describe what he felt. All the words seemed so inadequate and empty in the face of this battle!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
On the chessboard, the black pieces are still stubbornly making their moves. Although the situation is already precarious and the overall outcome is basically decided, the black pieces have not yet lost.

Even when the chances of survival for Black on the board are so slim as to be almost invisible, Black still tries every possible means to search for it.

"White's move to push was a test of response. Black's jump was very aggressive. It seems like White was at a disadvantage, but... who can be sure that this wasn't something White had planned beforehand?"

After a few more moves, someone looked at the chessboard and spoke softly, seemingly to themselves, or perhaps asking for the opinions of those around them.

The surrounding crowd fell silent.

Yes, it seems that White is at a disadvantage here, but the battle that crushed Black's last hope is still fresh in their minds, and they are not even sure if their judgment is accurate.

They could only remain silent and continue watching.

White launches a fierce attack, while Black struggles desperately. Black forcibly cuts off White's connections, hoping to use the ko to put up a stubborn resistance. The two sides engage in a half-hearted struggle around the ko.

"Black hopes to use the ko to make a living group, while White uses the ko to maintain pressure. In fact, neither side is in a life-or-death situation here."

Wu Zhixuan whispered, "However, Black doesn't have enough ko threats, so he has to play the tiger's den to reinforce himself. The value of this move... is practically a single point." What is a single point?

This refers to a move that fails to capture any objective, the least valuable move on the board, which is often only played in the final stages of the game. However, this move was played in the middle game during a fierce battle.

Da da da……

The young player's pace of placing stones is getting slower and slower.

A somber atmosphere gradually filled the chess hall, as if a hero were growing old.

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail. However, the loser is not necessarily not brave; sometimes, the loser can even be a hero.

"Black's block seems to be aimed at White's lower right corner, but White's cut and capture of the key stones is very clean, large and thick, it's practically a declaration of victory."

Someone with a complicated expression said in a low voice, "The ko fight in the lower right corner is similar to a worry-free ko for White, especially since White also has its own ko to play. When White is looking for its own ko, Black is already... unable to care about it."

Finally, when Yu Shao picked up a chess piece and placed it down again, the young man's hand, which had already reached into the chess box, was unable to pick up another piece.

The outcome has been decided.

Although it's still possible to download more, there's no point in continuing.

"I lost."

The young man slowly lowered his head and spoke in broken Chinese.

After he finished speaking, there was still no reaction from the audience. The room remained completely silent, everyone still immersed in the game of chess, their expressions blank and bewildered, unable to come to their senses.

From the meticulous calculations of both sides in the initial planning stage, to the back-and-forth battles in the early middle game, and finally to the ultimate contest of territory and external influence...

I thought this was the most crucial part of the whole game, but unexpectedly, after White entered the game with its own body, it finally made a cut, which triggered a riot throughout the game, violently cutting Black's stones into two pieces and completely destroying Black's external influence!
Every move they made still deeply impressed them to this day!

"Thanks for the advice."

Yu Shao slowly lowered his head and began to speak.

The young man stared blankly at the chessboard in front of him, seemingly not hearing Yu Shao's words at all.

Yu Shao also looked at the chessboard in front of him and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The young man's chess skills were completely beyond his expectations. Although he won the game by a large margin in the middle game, to be honest, the victory was not easy and could even be described as tricky throughout.

"Perhaps, I'll have another chance to face him at the World Championship in the near future..."

Yu Shao thought to himself silently.

Although he still doesn't know the identity of the young man opposite him, after finishing this game, he can at least tell that the young man is definitely not an unknown player.

Even he himself felt that he had played this game extremely well.

Seeing this game and thinking about the Phoenix Cup World Championship that will be held soon, Yu Shao couldn't help but look forward to the World Championship even more.

At this moment, Yu Shao turned his head to look out the window and found that the sky outside had already become somewhat gloomy.

Yu Shao stood up, turned around and glanced at Wu Shuheng and Wu Zhixuan behind him. Seeing that the two were still staring blankly at the chessboard, he reminded them, "It's getting late, let's go."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, their thoughts were immediately interrupted. After realizing what was happening, they quickly nodded and said, "Oh, oh."

Although the two were still somewhat dazed, they subconsciously followed Yu Shao and walked together towards the first floor of the chess hall. They quickly went down the stairs and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only the crowd remained, still standing there in a daze, along with the young man still sitting there, staring at the chessboard, and the girl standing behind him, gazing intently at the game.

Even long after Yu Shao and the other two had left, the second floor of the chess hall remained remarkably quiet.

"it's over……"

A blond-haired young man stared blankly at the chessboard, a deep look of confusion flashing across his face.

"Jingle Bell."

Just then, the young man's cell phone rang, finally breaking the astonishing silence.

The young man stiffly pulled his phone out of his pocket and answered the call.

"Hey, Lao Wang, what are you doing? Didn't you say you were coming to the bar for drinks? You even found some girls, where the hell are you?"

As soon as the call connected, a young male voice came from the other end, sounding somewhat impatient.

"I……"

Upon hearing this, the young man's gaze remained fixed on the chessboard, and he stammered, "I'm watching chess at the chess hall."

Upon receiving this answer, the person on the other end of the phone was visibly taken aback.

"Damn? You're watching chess? Weren't you at the chess club frying fish? I thought you'd be done frying soon, but you're watching chess instead?"

The person on the other end of the phone sounded puzzled and urged, "You're just an amateur 5-dan, watching a bunch of noobs pecking at each other in the chess hall, what's so interesting about that? Is chess more interesting than girls? Why have you been watching for so long? Come on, come on!"

As if afraid the young man would arrive too late, the person on the other end of the phone paused, then let out a strange laugh that was best left unsaid: "The girls who came this time, wow, they're really top-notch."

Based on the person on the other end of the phone's understanding of the young man, he originally thought that after saying this, the young man would immediately ask if he was very good-looking.

Then he would answer that he didn't really see the face. The young man would be puzzled as to what was so great about not seeing the face. He would then say with disdain and contempt, "You're just putting on an act." The young man would immediately understand what was so great about it.

However, to his surprise, the young man fell silent upon hearing his words.

"Holy crap? Something's not right!"

The person on the other end of the phone was startled, his voice slightly panicked: "Bro, what happened? Did you fry fish and make the fish so angry it chopped you up with a knife? I told you not to fry fish, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on going to the chess club to show off. Now you're getting your comeuppance!"

"……no."

The young man denied the person's guess on the other end of the phone.

"What is it? Tell me!"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately asked, "What happened?"

You might not believe it if I told you.

The young man stared blankly at the chessboard and said, "At the chess hall, all I saw was a dazzling divine light..."

This time, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a moment, he asked in a tone that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm an idiot?", "So you mean you saw someone take out a transformation device and turn into Ultraman?"

"In a sense..."

Faced with his friend's complaints, the young man couldn't laugh at all. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Yes."

"Brother, wait for me, I'm coming right away!"
